The common use of HTTP proxies on the Web makes this
extremely unreliable.
A typical HTTP proxy servicing many users will cause them
all to appear to be coming from the same IP address, while
round-robin HTTP proxies (like AOL's) will make a single
person appear to be coming from many different IP
addresses.
